Sasha - Una Historia Canina Muy Especial De En ´Perro Epi´ Muy Especial
by Brian L. PorterSasha es, al momento de escribir esto, una Bull Terrier Staffordshire de cinco años, la cual es simplemente uno de los animales más maravillosos que he tenido el privilegio de conocer en mi vida. Abandonada en una alcantarilla a las seis semanas de edad, estaba casi muerta de hipotermia cuando fue encontrada por un guardián de la perrera municipal, que pasaba por allí. Una semana más tarde se convirtió en parte de nuestra familia y lo que sigue en este libro es simplemente la historia de un perro valiente, resistente y, lo que es más importante, exuberantemente feliz, que a pesar de las muchas y variadas pruebas y tribulaciones que la vida le ha deparado, sigue siendo, en mi opinión, "el perro más feliz del planeta".

by Margaret Goff ClarkThe tiny Florida Key deer need protection. The little deer of the Florida Keys are found nowhere else in the world. Related to the white-tailed deer, the Key deer is not much larger than a big dog. Today, it is an endangered species. There are no more than a few hundred left. The little deer wander through backyards and front lawns. Reduced speed limits are posted, but many deer get killed by automobiles. It is against the law to feed them. That makes them lose their natural fear of people and cars, and more likely to get killed. The National Key Deer Refuge was established on Big Pine Key in 1957, but more land is needed. People who live on the Keys like the little animals, and efforts are being made to find room for building developments and also enough space for Key deer to thrive.
Save the Humans
by Rob StewartIn Save the Humans, award-winning documentary filmmaker Rob Stewart tells his captivating life-story-so-far--from self-professed "animal nerd" to one of the world's leading environmental activists, from a person whose sole focus was saving his beloved sharks to a mission to save us all. Rob Stewart has always been in love with creatures, the odder or more misunderstood the better. His passion for all living things, including Satan, his 7-foot-long, 80-pound pet water monitor, has led him around the world, as a university student studying zoology in Kenya, as a wildlife photographer in Madagascar and Southeast Asia, and ultimately as a documentary filmmaker in the Pacific shooting his innovative and award-winning documentary Sharkwater. Risking arrest and mafia reprisal in Costa Rica, nearly losing a leg to flesh-eating disease in Panama and getting lost at sea in the remote Galapagos Islands, Stewart is living proof that the best way to create change in the world is to dive in over your head. His documentary sparked shark fin bans around the world, but his story doesn't end with saving sharks. Stewart has set his sights on a slightly bigger goal--saving the human species. He has criss-crossed the globe to meet with the visionaries, entrepreneurs, scientists and children working to solve our environmental crises, and his message is clear: the revolution to save humanity has started and the only thing missing is you!
